Pros

You work with really smart people, and get to learn a lot. You get to make a great customer impact. You own a large part of what you develop, so you can be autonomous. You're paid really well.

Cons

Work-life balance is bad. Employees frequently work very late into the night. Many times they are asked to come on a Saturday. It is not easy to take obtain permission to take leave if it's more than a couple of days. If you're on-call, you can be contacted at any time during the on-call for servicing issues.
